This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.

This website has a secure bookings area which protects all sensitive information. We use a 128-bit encryption with all sensitive information protected by secure socket layer technology (SSL) encryption software. This means that any data you send to us i.e. credit card details is safe.

While on a secure page the pad-lock icon will appear this will tell you that you are using a secure connection.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

By providing such information to third parties e.g., content partners and advertisers, we are able to improve our offering to customers. These statistics do not contain information traceable to an individual and will simply be something along the lines of: ‘5,000 more visitors clicked on Advert A rather than Advert B’.

Countries not within the European Union may not have the same standard of protection for personal information as that provided for by the Data Protection Act 1998. If it is necessary to transfer your data to a company based outside the EU then Bailey Balloons Ltd T/A Aerosaurus Balloons & South West Balloon Flights will make every effort to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the DPA, as implemented by the EU Directive on the Protection of Personal Data (95/46/EC), and any other Act/s that may replace or modifying such Act for the time it is in force, through the implementation of an agreement ensuring adequate protection of your personal data.
